They reverse lights do shine through some. But with window tint on the front door windows, it is a little harder to see. You can alway throw some aux. lights up underneath the truck and wire them up with the reverse lights....problem solved!

You really need to get some black wire screen material from Lowes and put it infront of the radiator. It will not only protect the radiator from debris but also make it where you cant see the stuff behind the grille. It was a 1000% in provment for mine!

Ram, Is your logo an overlay? It doesn't look like the original Ford logo. It's stretched or smashed or something. Doesn't look bad, but it would bug me to death.

I will try to get some later today for you and post them...its a very simple mod that will make your grille look sooooo much better!

I hated that too, but putting the screen behind the grille hides all of that stuff. IMO its a must do with one of these grilles.

Yeah..I have black overlays. There is nothing wrong with it though...I think thats just my reflection in it in the picture above that makes it look distorted. Trust me if they didn't look and fit perfect I couldnt stand them to be on there either!

These are totally different looking. The size is stretched and the angle of the font is different. Doesn't look OE at all.

Clean and stretched


Dirty and original

I thought you were asking if it was damaged. I didn't know you were talking about the actual script....I know thats not the same as OEM but it looks fine IMO. From what I have seen all overlays have this same font and none look just like the OEM script.

I believe yours are what they call the 3-D or Domed emblems. They have the regulars ones too, I got the OEM looking black overlays for my emblems.
